Never too early to fire this up. March Madness day one coincides with St. Patrick's Day this year. All the more reason to get together and have a good time. Last year was awesome out at Coach's off E. 305th. Where to this year?

Take the first two days off every year, would love to drive in, but if there is anything irritates me more than picking 8/9 match-ups it is amateur drinkers behaving like buffoons on March 17th.

Was going to start a thread, but I'll put it here: anyone going to the first round games at the Q. Got my tickets in the mail on Thursday. Cannot wait. Besides watching the Bucks in the final 4, I can't imagine anything better. First experience, can't wait. A good chance these games may feature OSU and Pitt, if they can both take care of business.

300th post bitches!!! I know, for some it's a solid afternoon.

Squints, I'll be there. Lucked into some nice club seats in C127. Lets meet up for a couple AM cold ones before the 1st session Friday.

Good point on March 17th issue. Might have to schedule any TCF dealio for either the Friday or Saturday after. I know it ain't Day 1 but I'm with Squints in not suffering the ridiculous number of drunken assholes that will be in a bar and on the roads.

Yeah, Friday won't work for me either. If it's nice, I'm playing golf with a couple teammates before we go drink and watch basketball before our 6 pm game. If it isn't nice, I'm drinking over in Lakewood somewhere before our game.

If there's a meet-up Friday before the games, I can try to get there in time. I have to be non-committal as we have to do life things before we can make the drive.

Date day for the afternoon and then ditching the wife for some quality father/son time in the p.m. followed by a dad's day out on Sunday. Feel like Jimmy Fallon as he was divvying up his season tickets in Fever Pitch.

Can't wait. Now that I'm working a flex schedule I have Thursdays off so I'm down....

after going to my sons St Pat's Day party at daycare

and after he gets up from his nap, probably around 3ish

after I get the 3 mo old fed and down for his nap

maybe after going to pick up wife from the airport as she gets home from seminar on the 6pm flight

maybe after we sit down to dinner and get our chance to see each other

maybe after I give the kids a bath and get them ready for bed.

That'll work. By the time I get all that done and meet up w/ you guys I should catch the second half of the last game

FML

I'll see you next year after I get snipped in the morning. I'll be the tall guy walking in like John Wayne w/ a bag of frozen peas to sit on.

Galley Boys are slop on top of a so-so burger and a bun you coulde get from a Covneninet food mart generic pack. They the Antoine Joubert of burgers; soft, sloppy, oozing grease and cheap sauce and extremely overrated by a biased fan base. Proof that if you throw enough cheap sauce shit on a burger you still can't overcome the lame burger. -JB

Meeting up with two buddies around noon in Lakewood cause we have a game at 6 in Lakewood. Bad weekend for my annual tournament. But, if it wasn't tourney weekend, I'd be stuck going to Jennifer's sister's wedding in South Carolina.

Hold on.

Deliberatin'.......

Hope to have a last word on this soon.

But to your question, Buckeyes start at 440. Leaving before is too soon so I'm likely there til that ends for sure.

Just finalizing where 'there' is.

I'm liking Hooley House and their 25 TVs along with their really good bar food.

And hey, Pup ain't bald.

I just got great news. My wife's cousin and here husband are going to be in town friday. They are going to the Xavier game. They have 2 kids. Now, instead of drinking beer and watching basketball at a bar with some guys I haven't met but talk to daily, I might get to help my wife watch her cousins kids.

WHICH IS FUCKING AWESOME!!!

Maybe if you would stand up to your wife and tell her what's what instead of being the bitch in the relationship there'd be no problem.

Wait. Yesterday you were bitching about the guy that puts the decision off on someone else, then complains about the selection.

Now, after I make the call, exactly how many changes do you plan on making to the location? I am going to go read my PM that is probably from you, but figured I would drop something off for you on my way...

I'm still on meds. I have no idea what you're talking about because the meds erase my memory each morning.

I'm off work next week Thurs-Sunday so I may be interested in meeting up with this crew. Be interesting to meet those of you that I haven't met already through the TCF Golf outing. Do you guys get it started at noon? I've got a conference Thursday evening in Beachwood so if it's a late-afternoon/evening thing I'd be unable to make it.

Originally me and some buddies had planned on Vegas next weekend, but one by one they kept dropping out till it was just me and one other guy left. Already had those days off locked in so now looking for something constructive (or would this be deconstructive?) to do.
